Car Boot Sales In Monocular Madman's Sights

Car boot sales face tax blitz by cash-strapped Labour | Mail Online

Gordon Brown was accused last night of a ‘tax blitz’ on Britain’s car boot sales in a desperate attempt to raise more revenue.

Valuation officials admitted that those who run the popular events could face tax rises in a revamp of property levies to come in next April.

They confirmed that landowners, including farmers, could be hit with bigger business rates bills if they hold regular sales.

Hurrah! Our intrepid, cashless class-warriors in Westminster strike another blow for justice.

Barroso's Brilliant EU Tax Idea

Jose Manuel Barroso: plan for EU tax to appear on all receipts - Telegraph

All shopping and petrol station receipts in Britain could in future include the amount of VAT or fuel duty that goes directly to Brussels as an "EU tax", according to Jose Manuel Barroso...

Mr Barroso said under the proposals, "EU and national VAT should appear as separate taxes on the invoices or receipts" every time consumers make a purchase, buy fuel or pay for an airline ticket.

This is a great idea - letting us all know how much of our cash is being scammed by the bastards in Brussels. Most people here don't actually realise that VAT is an EU tax. Just the thing to stir up even more ant-EU feeling in the UK. Which is why I can't see it happening.
